Job Title: Operations & Production Analyst

Employment Type: Full Time

Salary: Attractive

Experience: 2 – 3 years working experience

Location: Lagos

Job Duties/ Responsibilities/ Accountabilities:

1. Analyze and report OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) to assess both the

effectiveness of the production process and the performance of industrial equipment.

evaluate equipment uptime/availability by calculating the proportion of time it is

accessible for production. This may be impacted by repairs malfunctions or transitions.

Monitor and report on equipment performance to evaluate the speed at which equipment

functions in relation to its optimum capacity assessing variables such as cycle duration

output rate and equipment dependability. Keeps track of the proportion of goods that

fulfill quality requirements to analyze the rate of production from the manufacturing

equipment that is free of defects.

2. Monitor and report on machine downtime to determine the reasons for equipment

failures their frequency and the need for maintenance and replacements to aid

enhancement of machine dependability and reduction of unscheduled downtime using

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) analysis to aid the understanding of the

using scrap and rework rates data. Determine the FPY (First Pass Yield ratio proportion

of items that make it through the production process without needing any rework or

repairs) that confirms efficient and effective manufacturing operations.

9. Monitor WIP to spot production bottlenecks reorganize processes and shorten cycle

times and report on same.

10. Keep an eye on energy use to spot chances to boost energy efficiency streamline

manufacturing and lessen the effect on the environment.
